Geri Wilson, who celebrates her 86th birthday next week, was one of many shoppers who had travelled from the isle of Mull to be at the opening.

Geri said: “It’s a big deal for us, it’s lovely. I have been waiting for this all the time I have been on Mull – and I moved there in 1971.”

Oban woman Catherine MacInnes, 81, said: “It all looks absolutely super, I have waited for this for a long time.”

Stuart MacKinnon, manager of the new store, said: “Oban is in such a beautiful part of the world, so we all expect the store to be busy with visiting tourists and locals alike who are looking to make the most of the Highlands.”
